Any World I'm Welcome to
...is better than the one I come from. As sooz deftly noted, now is the time when We the Disappointed choose our preferred country of exile instead of digging in for a lengthy struggle. Why should I be any different? Canada is much too obvious - I choose Belize. Aside from its sub-tropical climate, the country's official language is English. Better still, Belize has no extradition treaty with the U.S., which means that when I slip a mickey to the Bush twins and tatoo a big red “M” (or an upside-down “W”) on their foreheads, I can find safe haven amongst the white collar fugitives that patronize every seaside bar in faded Hawaiian shirts and Birkenstocks. Sometimes it's easier to hide from the IRS than it is to hide from yourself. For you, there is only one prescription: take six Belikins and throw away your cell phone. Shall I charter a plane now?

I went to Belize once. Most wonderful five days of my life. One day, I didn't even know what time it was for the entire day. Plus they sell bumper stickers that say "You better Belize it!" which is much preferable to the "It's not a choice; it's a child" ones that they sell in good old America.
